    Legal battles with ex-spouses can get ugly, but one Kansas man is taking it to the extreme. He’s requesting to settle a custody dispute with his ex-wife in a “trial by combat” using Japanese swords.

    In court documents initially obtained by the Carroll Times Herald, David Ostrom, 40, from Paola, Kansas mentioned he would like to meet his ex-wife and her lawyer “on the field of battle where (he) will rend their souls from their corporal bodies.”

    He added this his ex-wife, Bridget, “had destroyed (him) legally,” and kindly requested the Iowa District Court give him 12 weeks “lead time” to source or forge katana and wakizashi swords for battle.

    Ostrom, however, is fine not dueling with his ex-wife. He said that his ex-wife can choose her attorney as a “champion,” or an alternate stand-in fighter.

    ———————A bit more in the link. In Kansas. What it really comes down to is the legal system destroys a man and what is he left with a bit of desperation and a long shot request.

    Now that is funny. Good for him.

    If it caught on, divorce lawyers might not be quite so eager to take divorce rape cases.

    Is the gentleman Japanese? His name suggests not. Why are we so keen to look to other cultures for weapons of the past when we have long and proud traditions.

    I would love to see a good European sabre fencer in a duel with a good Japanese fencer. I just have a suspicion that the “point might beat the flat” as they used to observe.

    All these types are feminised, and therefore fear accountability.

    Quite right! I suspect the guy has read too many manga comics.

    There are some good contests on YouTube.

    I used to fight sabre – both fencing style and with historical blade. If you want an all-body workout that will leave you standing in a puddle of your own sweat in 10 minutes, it’s the way to go.

    Iowa District Court

    I started laughing when I read that because I have a cousin that is in jail right now in Polk County, Iowa due to false DV charges from his wife.

    They initially let him out of jail last year after one night and he plead guilty a month later to avoid a trial and more jail time.

    Problem was: the terms of his probation to avoid jail. DV classes, anger management classes, not contacting her, being unable to see his kids, court fines, probation costs, etc, etc, etc (and abstaining from alcohol)

    A perpetual state of having to jump through hoops for two years to avoid the original DV charge.

    Fast forward from December 2018 to last month, December 2019

    He was drinking and called her (violated the restraining order) then decided to flee his place before the cops came. Went out drinking (drove) and got a DUI that night. Also another probation violation since he was caught drinking.

    He’s 20 days into a 90 day multi probation violation jail term amidst charges for violating the restraining order and the DWI charge.

    His mortgage is not getting paid. His Mercedes car payment is not getting paid. He essentially lost his job due to being in jail for 90 days and can’t get his job back due to not having a non restricted driver’s license when he gets out: He was a finance manager at a car dealership and everyone that works there by default needs a driver’s license.

    And his ex wife has a new Chad living at her place, pounding away at her holes.

    It’s a sick world.

    I love the whole ceremony of the European pistol duel. Its potentially instantly serious in consequences so people won’t make silly quarrels but it actually it makes for less fatalities than sword duels simply because there is a break between shots in which apologies can be made. Even the novice has a chance at close range and so it is harder to bully people just because you are skilled. I personally think I would have found it quite hard to keep a cool enough head to keep a steady hand but a double brandy would probably have done the trick as Traveller suggests (works for me in shooting contests at least when my problem is usually wanting to win too much).

    I would love to see duelling make a come back anyway. For me its to do with personal sovereignty. Two countries country can declare a war but why not two individual men? -Because cuck state. Accept consequences, treat people civilly and see that most quarrels are destructive and unnecessary. That is what the duel teaches.

    I lost a Pumpkin once to a beta wallet in what was a Trial By Assets

    No gladiator arena was needed

    He had a master’s degree, high income, nice house, investment properties, etc

    He won. . .

    But then years later after I had by default walked off the field of battle.

    He lost

    Because she had two kids with him, was cheating on him, blowing through his money while also blowing Chad’s. Then she wanted a divorce and the damage she did with asset distribution in the divorce, alimony and child support was more devastating than what I could have done if him and I had entered an arena years prior in gladiatorial combat. Because I at least would have just killed him and done so as quickly and humanely as possible.

    But he was still alive and dealing with her and the aftermath of her infidelity and the financial consequences of the divorce.

    When all of that was taking place, I decided I needed to get the last word in. Managed to get his number from someone that knew him (Life really is like the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon)

    Anyway. Texted him ‘LOL Heard you finally found out what she is. Good luck bro’

    He texted asking who it was and I let him know it was me.

    Then he responded with ‘Do not contact me again or the police will be involved’ lol

    And that right there is why guys like him are called beta males.

    I disagree. With the way people are now about things, and the entire “you disrepsect me bro” bs they can throw about for anything, nope. It will just be a way for people to get away with murder of those they want to target under the false guise of ‘protecting my honor’ when they have none to protect.

    Women want everything, but want responsibility and accountability for nothing.

    Yeah I am all in favour of pistols at dawn. A beautiful thing.

    Yes some people did use duelling as a way to kill off people they wanted to kill as opposed to a way to settle grievances. This became a lot less of a good idea with pistols as opposed to swords where the expert swordsman vastly outclasses the novice. To an extent we all have some instinctive ability to aim and if a novice insists on a very short distance as a prerequisite to accepting a duel, he has a small but real chance of killing an expert if he has to b~~~~ to just shoot fast and hope. This tended to make those who liked to kill young fools for a hobby (as some expert swordsmen did particularly on the continent) think twice or have shorter careers. If you brought back duelling now there would be an explosion in deaths for a couple of years and then things would become a whole lot more civilised as people began to accept consequences to bad behaviour and deaths would fall away greatly. If duelling were still about now, the whole cat picture nonsense would never have started here. People just would not be so petty.

    This story being from Paola, Kansas, I can’t believe you had no comments to me. I don’t believe that town was ever one of your guesses. Maybe Paola is where I live……..

    Paola is in Miami County.

    You reside in PRATT county.

    Pistols are so beta

    Like standing far away and aiming pistols at each other

    There is only one kind of duel for real men. It originated in Helena, Texas

    The HELENA DUEL

    Two men, with their left wrists tied together so that neither can escape. And each given a 3-inch blade.

    Sounds like a good way of killing two very dumb men.

    A well organised duel need not even wound a single party if it leads to a matter being settled to the satisfaction of both. This sort of duel gives little hope of either man achieving what he wants. It takes a little time to bleed to death, yet not that much time to mortally wound at close quarters.

    You must be a fool to believe in that blubber-head of yours that you have a scoob on the 1st.

    I was going to pay for Mr Branches airfare, but it would be a waste of crackhead money as it won’t last past 20secs of the first.

    See you at Title Boxing Club, Lenexa on the 1st of April Di*k-head.

    So he proved to the judge he believes in DV to settle things. I’d rather win in court. I’m really hard to face in court and have won many cases. I gained full custody of my son and retired at 51 because I’m good in court. I’ve had the cops called on me twice for DV.

    In modern society I’d rather be good at collecting evidence and writing briefs than face a pistol or sword.

    because I’m good in court.

    You must be referring to family court, civil court, traffic court and / or district (misdemeanor) court.

    Because there is no such thing as “good in court” in any court above the levels I mentioned.

    At one point in my life, I was in my best Brooks Brothers suit, sitting at a table with my $300 an hour attorney at the beginning of a trial that could have resulted in me spending at least a few years in a very bad environment (prison) and I calmly glanced over at the jury. Looked over with a firm understanding that in situations like the one I was in, there is no such thing as “good in court” and thinking that in a similiar situation would be naive.

    Now there are factors that can work in your favor as they did in my situation:

    Like, having had your case initially handed by the senior prosecutor in that county to the most inept and clueless deputy prosecutor in his office that had only been out of law school for a year and only had a few months under his belt at that office. He got my case for two reasons: One, the senior prosecutor wanted it to go away and two, if the state lost at a trial, he would be able to save face and blame it on his least experienced and capable junior prosecutor. Other factors that worked in my favor were the judge allowing certain evidence that favored my side to be admitted as evidence as well as my attorney crushing it during jury selection. In addition to the guy that I had beat down outside of a bar (the victim) having got arrested three days prior to my trial on something unrelated. Followed by an incredible amount of fate and destiny co-conspiring with luck.

    As stated before,the ‘O’in Sky-O is for Outlaw

    When the jury came back with their verdict after a three day trial, I walked out of that courtroom like a boss.

    But I would never consider it to have been “good at court”
